Protection against Poly Microbial Sepsis by Chitin oligomers is fine tuned by N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine residues
2024-10-14
Abstract excerpt
Chitin, poly-N Acetyl D-glucosamine, is an abundant polysaccharide produced by fungal cell walls, insect epicuticle and nematodes cuticles. Its immunomodulatory function has curious attributes - paradoxically opposing host responses using different host receptors resulting in immunostimulatory or immunosuppressive propertis depending on the size/length of the oligomers as well as aceytylation levels have been repo...
